Amazon Prime Video is one-upping “Squid Game: The Challenge” with its own massive reality competition show. “Beast Games” comes from influencer MrBeast and will follow 1,000 contestants competing for a prize of $5 million.
The upcoming series is based on MrBeast’s already successful YouTube show and seeks to become the biggest reality competition series ever. It certainly has the biggest cash payout in the history of both television and streaming. Netflix’s “Squid Game: The Challenge,” which previously held that record, followed 456 players competing for a prize of $4.56 million.
MrBeast will serve as the host and executive producer of the upcoming series.
